Fifteenth century war for resources is back in Ukraine now. The West fear losing Ukraine’s immense resources to Russia in the event of peace breaking out. So geoeconomics war must continue until Russia is defeated or takes out major chunk of Ukraine and comes to negotiation table.
This stark reality is now wire-framed post-delivery of Oreshnik hypersonic missile against targets in Ukraine. True, globalists have over-invested in Ukraine with money & materials. Recent attempt by the coalition of Black Rock and JP Morgan spearheading Ukraine Development Fund of USD 15 billion for re-construction of the country is well received. Although total cost for the re-construction is estimated as USD 500 Billion a start was made and that is laudable.
The types of mineral resources available across the country is mind boggling. Almost 116 types of minerals are spread throughout in and around 20,000 locations. Titanium tops the list with more than 10 to 20 million tons accounting for close upon 7% of the global findings. Lithium is estimated as 500,000 tons, largest in Europe. Ukraine is one of the top ten producers of manganese, graphite and zirconium. Many others including, sulphur, kaolin, gallium and uranium are still being counted for the total amount available. All in all the estimated value of the resources is around USD 26 Trillion.
Besides, Ukraine is one of the most fertile land with 25-30 percent of the world's black soil reserves, spread over approximately 100 million acres of agricultural land, covering vast area of the landmass. More to it: Ukraine has energy sources: coal, natural gas and crude. But things are not going the way globalists planned.
The catch is that more than 70% of these resources are located in the east of Dnipro River especially in Donbass area, where Russians are advancing steadily. My view is that oblasts Lugansk & Donetsk (collectively known as Donbass), Dnipropetrovsk, and Zaporizhzhia along with Kharkiv, Sumy and Kherson would be captured by Russia by 2025.
A geoeconomics grand bargain is better thing to do now. The West has to oblige Russian terms outlined in their SMO that began on 24th February 2022. Getting something out of the so far failed attempt to subdue Russia is an appropriate business strategy. Discarding the sunk cost theory is a must because otherwise there is nothing to forestall Russian juggernaut reaching Russian-Polish border.
